What amps do you prefer to use in your home when playing.

I find myself usually plugging into these Marshall one watt we picked up two used along time back we use a 1/12 cabinet with these heads in playing.
Yet this morning I’ve been using this Blackstar it’s 5 watt combo 12 inch speaker with one El -84. Yet this amp has this feature called ISF.
And in reading on this feature it is to switch between the British or American tones.
We picked this up yesterday off Craigslist $200 used a decent amp for the price.

It has a channel for a microphone and it had both clean and 'fuzz' setting.

It is a 'no name' and I do not remember the name at the moment. It is in a bin in the garage because I don't play anymore.

It was a good little amp though. It has survived many things.

I've never been into Marshall or Orange Crush, but I'm not a rocker. I like sweet, mellow, clean tones. LOVE my Roland Jazz Chorus. Use that at home daily!
